Catalyst

In 1967, Patrick Redmond was co-founder and, in 1968, was, according to one journalist, "unofficial head" of Catalyst, a dynamic, eclectic, avant garde visual arts/performing arts/literary arts/music group that created, produced, and performed thought-provoking events in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area. Film, poetry, dance, multimedia, and guitar were featured.
